Topic: The Gentleness of Jesus Christ
The most gentle person that ever lived on this earth was Jesus Christ. He was not a coward, he engaged his critics fearlessly, confronted them yet without a combat or abuse. against them. He responded to issues raised throughout his lifetime without reacting in anger. No words of anger were heard from his mouth, he was compared to a lamb who willingly submitted his life as a sacrifice, despite the suffering he did not look back.
Jesus Christ is a model example of gentleness, he said learn of me "for I am gentle". In all the writings about Christ, the fruit of gentleness manifested in his dealings and relationship with his disciples and other Jews. Jesus had the fullness of the Holy Spirit but while on earth he listened and obeyed the Holy Spirit. You cannot be gentle without taking the yoke of obedience to the word of God which is Spirit and truth. Gentleness of Christ is rooted in fullness of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Holy Spirit. The Gentleness of Christ can also be found in you if you will submit yourself to the Holy Spirit and obey him in your walk with him on the earth.
Prayer: Father help me to submit to your Spirit and also experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name
